This fixture offers both teams an opportunity to return to winning ways.##NAJAVA_MECA_8716023##Mathare United, in particular, are desperate for a turnaround. With just one win in their last ten games, head coach John Kamau is feeling the pressure, and a win in Kisii could provide much-needed relief. Shabana head coach, Peter Okidi, also seeks redemption following criticism for the team’s loss to Posta.Shabana forward, Brian Michira, is determined to see his team bounce back from the Posta setback.”It wasn’t our best game last weekend; we were unlucky. Football can be that way sometimes. We have a chance to make amends at home, and it’s a must-win game for us,” Michira said.Signed and sealed: Odada on loan until the end of the seasonWith eight goals this season, Michira has not found the back of the net in his last three outings, but he is keen to rediscover his scoring touch against Mathare United.Gor Mahia vs Tusker FCLater in the day, attention shifts to Machakos, where record league champions Gor Mahia will host Tusker in what promises to be a high-octane encounter.The two sides last met a month ago at the same venue, where Tusker’s Ryan Ogam stole the show with a brace, handing Tusker a 2-1 victory. However, Ogam has not scored since and will be eager to add to his 15 goals this season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8715889##Gor Mahia, still in the hunt for their 22nd league title, will be determined to avenge that first-leg loss. A win would bring them within four points of leaders Kenya Police FC, with a game in hand—the highly anticipated Mashemeji Derby.New Gor Mahia coach Sinisa Mihic, who took charge last week, will be looking for an improved performance after his team’s 2-1 win over Mathare United.”We must be more clinical in front of goal. We missed too many chances and became nervous, but we eventually played better. Going forward, we need to finish our chances,” Mihic said, addressing his team’s need for tactical discipline and better execution.
